Subsea Automated Pig Launcher (SAPL)

NOVs Subsea Automated Pig Launcher (SAPL) solution enables operational pigging without vessel or ROV support during pigging. The SAPL is mounted on a subsea structure, and is loaded with pigs from a retrievable cassette. The cassette can house a number of pigs which can be launched individually from shore or platform at desired time. Subsea pigging technology is today an essential part of offshore field development in fields with different flow characteristics, sizes, geographies, water depth and weather conditions.
